Three dogs were evaluated in our study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to reveal the anatomical deformity and the degree of the lesion of cauda equina. In all dogs, MRI revealed soft tissue, such as cauda equina, epidural fat, and intervertebral disc, at the lumbosacral region clearly without contrast medium. Our results suggest that MRI has some advantages in evaluating cauda equina syndrome in dogs.
在我们的研究中,使用磁共振成像(MRI)对三只狗进行了评估,以揭示马尾神经的解剖畸形和病变程度。在所有狗中,MRI清晰地显示了腰骶部区域的软组织,如马尾神经、硬膜外脂肪和椎间盘,无需使用造影剂。我们的结果表明,MRI在评估犬马尾神经综合征方面具有一些优势。
